Oracle Stream Explorer is a new tool provided as a part of Oracle Event Processing technology platform. The Oracle Stream Explorer caters to the business needs of the users. This tool enables the users to pro-actively identify and act on emerging streaming real time threats and opportunities in their enterprise and improve the operational efficiencies of their business. Oracle Stream Explorer helps in enhancing functional and operational efficiencies of businesses with actionable insight from real-time data by only processing and storing data that is relevant. Users can build applications and monitor them against the real-time streaming data within no time and with no complexity or knowledge of the underlying technologies using Oracle Stream Explorer.
The Oracle Stream Explorer platform provides a compelling combination of a simplistic visual facade to rapidly create and modify Real Time Event Processing applications, together with a comprehensive runtime platform to manage and execute these solutions.
This chapter contains the following sections:
Oracle Stream Explorer runs on Oracle Event Processing Server. The event processing server contains Oracle Stream Explorer Visualizer. Oracle Stream Explorer uses the same set of users and user roles configured in the Visualizer. Both Oracle Stream Explorer and Visualizer use the Oracle Stream Explorer server authentication and authorization system.
The Oracle Stream Explorer runtime component is a complete solution platform for building applications to filter, correlate, and process events in real-time. With flexible deployment options – stand-alone, integrated in the SOA stack or lightweight on Java SE Embedded, it proves to be a versatile, high performance event-processing engine. Oracle Stream Explorer enables Fast Data and Internet of Things (IOT) – delivering actionable insight and maximizing value on large volumes of high velocity data from varied data sources in real-time. It enables distributed intelligence and low latency responsiveness by pushing business logic to the network edge.
Oracle Stream Explorer can perform the following tasks at a higher level:
Create applications
Build applications
Run applications.
Oracle Stream Explorer requires Event Processing with Oracle Stream Explorer Server to be up and running. Oracle Stream Explorer runs on top of Oracle Event Processing 12.1.3 version and above.
Oracle Stream Explorer requires JDK 7.0 and higher versions.
Oracle Stream Explorer supports the following browsers:
Mozilla Firefox version 24 and higher
Safari version 6 and higher
Google Chrome version 28 and higher.
Note:
Oracle Stream Explorer is not supported on Internet Explorer for this release.
Oracle Stream Explorer is not a traditional Business Intelligence (BI) solution. It is designed to work on live data streams.
Oracle Stream Explorer has the following advantages:
Builds real-time applications quickly for any industry vertical
Simplifies the usage of event processing technology
Connects to live streams
Explores in real-time
Pro-actively identifies threats or opportunities in the streaming data
Hides the complexity of Event Processing and makes it easy for non-technical people to use
Addresses the business solution rather than technology pitch
Provides a controlled, structured, and more documentable approach to build real-time applications
Follows a Solution/Pattern approach.
